Pressure Sensitive Labels
Pressure sensitive labels are the most used type of printed labels. They are ideal for manufacturing automation or hand applied labels. Pressure sensitive labels are the "workhorse" of the industry, by some estimates 80% of the label market is made up of custom pressure-sensitive labels. Midwest Label Supply can print short-run and variable custom pressure-sensitive labels. We have experience printing with many types of specialty inks and adhesives and can print on a variety of substrates including paper, film and foils. Customo pressure-sensitive stickers can utilize paper, film and foil as their essential mark materials and can be utilized with a wide scope of inks. It just takes light or moderate strain (from a human or label applicator) to pop them off of a liner roll and apply (or stick) them to an item surface. They can be stripped off and adhered onto an item utilizing a hand or machine-applied strategy.
What are Pressure Sensitive Labels used for?
Custom pressure sensitive labels are most commonly thought of when manufacturers are considering how the label will be applied to the packaging of a product. Often times pressure sensitive labels will be applied to the packaging through an automated or semi-automated process. Such as a cylindrical beer or soda can or bottle label applicator. You will find pressure sensitive labels on a broad variety of products. At MLS custom pressure sensitive labels are manufactured for wine labels, cosmetic labels, medical labels, beer labels and more.

We can add laminates which protect labels from moisture or add tactile touch and feel. The sizes vary from 10mm x 10mm to 1200mm x 2000mm sheet sizes and 10mm to 1000mm discs diameters.
